Divergent

        

DIVERGENT


              I was reading the amazing known and award winning story. You might guess it just by hearing the word division. That's right, Divergent is the great book I read. This book has many amazing parts to it, and I honestly finished it in like a week because I would be reading up to 50-60 pages a night. In this breath taking book, society is divided into five social groups: Erudite, who prize intelligence over all else; Amity, who prize cheerfulness over all else; Abnegation, who prize selflessness over all else; Candor, who prize honesty over all else; and Dauntless, who prize bravery over all else. Where you live depends on your personality and your character.  Starting from sixteen years old, you have to choose which faction to stay in for life. But initiation into the factions is tough, and if you don't perform to their standards they might decide they don't want you- and you could end up as the worst disgrace of all- you might end up factionless; the forgottens of society. But, when protagonist Beatrice leads to make the choice at sixteen, she finds she isn't suited to one faction. She's suited to three- she is Divergent. And that is more dangerous than being factionless- or dead.


     The genre of this book is Science- Fiction/ teen fiction. I know its science fiction because it has a lot of technology and everything and it also talks about the future. I know this book is also teen fiction because she goes through all the hard work of being a teen, but except with like 10,000 more problems in her life. This book is very intense, it has many parts where you're just like "what?" because you start noticing life isn't like that but then those other thoughts come in mind such as "what if.. " what if the world was like this? So, it starts becoming very intense specially trough-out the middle of the book when one of the problems resolves an even bigger one continues! This book's genre helps me understand the book and its conflicts, also it makes me want to read another science fiction novel.
